jSTOCK THOUGHT WORTHLESS IS SOLD FOR $22,000,000 (CONTINUED"FROM PAGE ONE', purchase of the Universal Oil Products Company for $22,294,999. Mrs. Armour owned 400 of the 1,000 shares of Universal Products, and will receive $8,216,058. Included in the sale was tlie - Dubbs "cracking” process of proi ducing gasoline. It was the patent for this process that the purchasing companies wanted chiefly, it was said. P. C. Dubba of Chicago, who invented the "cracking" process which Armour backed for several years without success, will receive $3,582,045 of the money derived from the sale, it was said. Some others who will benefit by the sale are Hiram J. Halle of NewYork and the Natoma Corporation, who will receive $2,219,411 each. Attorney Alexander F. Reichmann will receive $1,402,794 and Attorney Frank D. Belknap will receive $775,350. Other stockholders will receive smaller shares. Behind the announcement, of Mrs. Armour's fortune is one of tlie most amazing stories in the history of American finance. Years ago, J. Ogden Armour, then at the height of his financial career as a meat packer, became interested in oil "cracking" experiments. • During the World war. Armour "plunged” and obtained large government contracts for delivery of meat to Europe. He than was reputed to be worth $150,000,000. The end of the war brought about his financial downfall, as his company was caught with millions of dollars worth of high priced meats on their hands and no market for them. It was said that Armour’s personal fortune shrunk at the rate of $1,000,000 a day for months after tlie Armistice. When hia estate was closed in probate court a year ago. an insolvency of sl,805,000 was shown. In 1926, Mrs. Armour lent her ' husband $1,000,000, which, it was said, he needed to fulfill an obligation in the west. He gave her the 400 shares of Universial Product* stock as security. It was said he originally had invested between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000 in tlie “cracking” process experiments. After Armour’s deatli in 1926, Mrs. Armour listed her Universal Products stock as an asset, but the creditors refused to place any value upon it. “It is worse than worthless,” they told her. “It is a liability.” Stripped of the immense wealth she had enjoyed and forced even to sell practically all of Mellody Farm, the family estate. Mrs. Armour kept the stock which her husband's creditors said was worthless. Today the stock had yielded her something more than 800 per cent I on her investment in four years. o Boots and Shoes Increase Washington —(U.R) —The value of i boots and shoes, other than rub- ' ber, manufactured in» the United ‘ States in 1929 was $950,243,664, an I increase of 1.8 per cent as compared witli $933,789,235 reported Cor 1927, the last preceding census year.
